Client's bird concern made me adjust panel mounting

A customer asked if our solar setup would bother the nesting birds in their trees. I started adding a bit more clearance under the arrays to give them space. How do you handle wildlife issues on your job sites?

Good on you for making that adjustment, it's a small thing that means a lot. We always do a quick walk around to look for active nests or burrows before we break ground. Had to delay a dig once for some baby rabbits, but it's just part of working outside lol. Clients are usually really happy when you point that kind of care out.

Seriously? It's just some grass and dirt. Like maybe we're making too big a deal out of moving a few twigs around.

Yeah, I used to totally think the same way, it's just a yard right? But seeing someone like @finley_foster talk about actually delaying a job for baby rabbits kind of hit different. It's not really about the twigs or dirt, it's about paying attention to what's already living there. That small shift in how you look at things changes the whole job. Makes you realize being careful is just part of doing the work right, not an extra hassle.
